Description or summary of the audiobook: Ever since children have learned to read, there has been children's literature. Seth Lerer here charts the makings of the Western literary imagination from Aesop's fables to Mother Goose, from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland to Peter Pan, from 'Where the Wild Things Are' to 'Harry Potter'. The only single-volume work to capture the rich and diverse history of children's literature in its full panorama, this extraordinary book reveals why J. R. R. Tolkien, Dr. Seuss, Laura Ingalls Wilder, Beatrix Potter, and many others, despite their divergent styles and subject matter, have all resonated with generations of readers. 'Children's Literature' is an exhilarating quest across centuries, continents, and genres to discover how, and why, we first fall in love with the written word.
